Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a method and an apparatus for measuring the wall thickness of molded hollow glass articles while the articles are still hot from the forming process.
  • a number of techniques have been proposed, involving radio frequency, capacitive and optical measuring techniques, for measuring the wall thickness of molded hollow glass containers after the containers have cooled, i.e., at the so-called cold end of the manufacturing process.
  • US-A 2,915,638 and 3,356,212 propose to measure infrared energy radiated from the exterior surface of hot containers, and to employ the resulting data to infer container wall thickness information. Once the containers have begun to cool, the thicker portions of the containers will retain heat longer than the thinner portions, and the exterior surface temperature will therefore be highest at the thicker portions of the container. Wall thickness information can therefore be inferred from the temperature profiles of the containers.
  • the prior art does not disclose a technique for obtaining an absolute measurement of container wall thickness at the hot end of the manufacturing process.
  • a method of measuring wall thickness of hollow glass articles, such as molded glass containers having interior and exterior wall surfaces includes the steps of determining the average wall thickness of the article, measuring the intensity of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the article indicative of the surface temperature, and determining the wall thickness as a combined function of the intensity measured and the average wall thickness.
  • the intensity measurements are obtained from radiation emitted from one point on the article surface.
  • a relationship between wall thickness and surface temperature at this point on the article surface is developed from these intensity measurements.
  • Intensity of radiation emitted from other points on the article surface can then be measured at the infrared wavelength at which intensity varies solely as a function of surface temperature, and wall thickness can be determined at such other points on the article surface as a combined function of such intensity measurements and the average wall thickness.
  • the sensors include an area array sensor having a multiplicity of sensing elements and means for focusing onto such elements light energy (visible and/or infrared) emitted from different points on the container surface.
  • a reflector is positioned between the two infrared sensors and the container or other article under inspection such that the detectors have fields of view that are coincident at the surface of the container.
  • the reflector is coupled to a motor or other suitable mechanism for moving the reflector in such a way that the coincident fields of view of the detectors effectively sweep the surface of the container.
  • the outputs of the detectors may be scanned at increments of reflector motion to obtain comparative signal data for determining wall thickness at sequential positions along the surface of the container.
  • the reflector is moved and the detector outputs are scanned at increments of container motion so as to obtain thickness data along the entire surface of the container.
  • the inspection may be performed while the containers are moved along the linear conveyor between the machine in which the molding is performed and the annealing lehr by positioning an optical inspection system on both sides of the conveyor for obtaining thickness data from both sides of the container.
  • the glass composition of a container wall is substantially transparent to light in accordance with the present invention when the transmissivity of the wall is at least 5%.
  • the container wall is substantially opaque to light in accordance with the present invention when transmissivity of the wall to infrared energy is less than 1%.
  • Light at which the wall is substantially opaque, and at which intensity therefore varies as a function of surface temperature and substantially independent of wall thickness, is preferably in the infrared range of 4.8 to 5.0 microns, and most preferably at about 5.0 microns. Standard commercially available sensors can be obtained having response characteristics within these ranges.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates an apparatus 10 for measuring the wall thickness of a hollow glass container 12 with two different methods. Radiant energy emitted from a point 14 on the exterior surface of container 12 is directed by a lens 16 onto a first sensor 18, and by a beamsplitter 20 and a lens 22 onto a second sensor 24. Beamsplitter 20 may be eliminated if lens 22 is disposed to focus onto sensor 24 energy emitted from the same point 14 on container 12 as emits energy onto sensor 18. That is, both sensors 18, 24 receive energy radiated from substantially the same point 14 on the exterior surface of container 12, but with different wavelength regions. This can be accomplished by suitable filters that are different for the sensor 18 to sensor 24.
  • Sensors 18, 24 provide respective electrical output signals to an information processor 26, which drives a display 28 to provide wall thickness information to a system operator or user, and which may provide a reject signal to suitable means for sorting container 12 from the manufacturing process.
  • Display information can also be used to control the forming process.
  • the method of measuring the wall thickness of molded hollow glass articles using two different wavelength regions is dealt with in EP 1 020 703 B1 .
  • the apparatus is used to determine the wall thickness in a second method.
  • the average wall thickness of the article is determined and stored in the information processor 26.
  • the average wall thickness of the whole container is normally constant and known, since the total amount of glass in a container is nearly constant, while distribution may vary.
  • a wavelength region is used at which the wall of the container 12 is substantially opaque. That is, the intensity of energy incident on sensor 24 varies as a function of temperature at the exterior surface of the container 12 at point 14, and substantially independent of wall thickness between the exterior and interior container surfaces. Glasses conventionally employed for container manufacture are substantially opaque to infrared light in the wavelength range of 4.8 to 5 microns, and a wavelength of substantially 5 microns is preferred for obtaining this surface temperature measurement.
  • the average wall thickness is used to calibrate the signal of the sensor 24, i.e., the wall thickness of the article 12 is determined as a combined function .of the intensity measured by the sensor 24 and the average wall thickness.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates a modified embodiment 30 of the apparatus illustrated in FIG. 1 .
  • sensors 18, 24 with associated lenses 16, 22 are disposed on diametrically opposed sides of container 12.
  • Apparatus 32 such as a pedestal, is operatively coupled to container 12 at inspection station 30 for rotating the container about its central axis, and provides signals indicative of increments of container rotation to information processor 26 by means of an encoder 34.
  • container 12 may be rotated at constant angular velocity, and increments of container rotation can be obtained at equal increments of time. It is important in both of the embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2 that sensors 18, 24 view substantially the same point 14 on the container exterior surface. In the embodiment of FIG. 2 , point 14 is viewed by sensor 18 through the container.
  • any non-uniformity in wall thickness may refract the view of sensor 18 away from point 14.
  • the intensity signal at sensor 18 varies as a function of two wall thicknesses, it is assumed in each embodiment that these wall thicknesses are identical.
  • container 12 may be rotated about its axis and wall thickness measurements obtained at desired increments of container rotation.
  • a sensor 24e (4.8 to 5 microns) is disposed on each side of container 12, and a sensor 18e (0.4 to 1.1 microns) is positioned on the left side only. If the signals received from the sensors 24e are different, they are averaged. The signal from sensor 18e and the average signal from sensors 24e are used to determine average double wall thickness.
  • the sidewall glass cools proportionally to wall thickness. Therefore, the average double wall thickness can be converted to thickness at the left and right walls using the signals from sensors 24e at the left and right walls. Once a single point is calculated, the relationship that the glass cools proportional to thickness can be used to determine the thickness of glass for all other points on the container using the signals from sensors 24e (proportional to temperature only).
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate correct calibration points, while 7C is incorrect.
  • FIGS. 7A and 7B can be distinguished from FIG. 7C by using sensors 24e and finding a point where the change in signal vertically and horizontally indicates that the thickness on the left side is not changing.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates a third embodiment 40 in accordance with the present invention for measuring the wall thickness entirely around the exterior surface of container 12.
  • Four area array sensors 24a, 24b, 24c and 24d are disposed in a rectangular array at 90° increments around the exterior circumference of container 12.
  • Each area array sensor 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d has an associated lens 22a, 22b, 22c, 22d for focusing onto the array energy emitted from one circumferential quadrant of container 12, so that arrays 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d collectively view the entire circumference of the container.
  • Each area array sensor 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d comprises a multiplicity of individual CCD sensing elements disposed in an NxM rectangular area array, such that each of the sensing elements in each array receives energy radiated from a corresponding point or small area on the container exterior surface.
  • Beamsplitter 20 is disposed so as to extract a portion of the energy radiated from one specific point 14 on the container exterior surface, and to direct such energy onto sensor 18.
  • the various elements of area arrays 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d are responsive to energy at a wavelength at which the energy varies solely as a function of exterior surface temperature and independent of wall thickness, e.g., at the preferred wavelength of 5 microns, while sensor 18 is responsive to energy at a wavelength such that the intensity varies as a function of both temperature at the various surfaces of container 12 and wall thickness between the surfaces, e.g., in the preferred range of 0.4 to 1.1 microns.
  • the output of sensor 18, and the output of the specific sensor element in array 24a that receives energy from container exterior surface point 14 are employed by information processor 26 to obtain an absolute measurement of wall thickness at point 14.
  • the average wall thickness and the signal of one of the sensors 24a - 24d is combined so as to develop a relationship between wall thickness and exterior surface temperature.
  • This temperature/thickness relationship at container point 14 may then be employed in combination with the container exterior surface temperatures developed at all other points around the container circumference by the various other elements on sensor arrays 24a, 24b, 24c, 24d to determine the container wall thickness at each of the other points viewed by the sensor arrays.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates another modified embodiment 50 for measuring the thickness of the bottom 52 of the container 12. Measurement of container bottom thickness can be obtained more reliably than sidewall thickness because only a single wall thickness is involved.
  • Area array sensor 24a cooperates with lens 22a for viewing the entire area of container bottom 52.
  • Beamsplitter 20 and sensor 18 are used for measuring the wall thickness in the method of EP 1 020 703 B1
  • Each element of area array sensor 24 receives infrared light at an intensity that varies as a function of temperature at each corresponding point or small area on the interior surface of bottom 52 and independent of bottom thickness.
  • the average wall thickness value and the output of the element in sensor array 24a that views point 14a on container bottom 52, are employed to determine absolute wall thickness at point 14a, and thus to develop a relationship between wall thickness and surface temperature. This relationship is employed by information processor 26 ( FIG. 1 ) in combination with the output of the other elements on array sensor 24a for determining wall thickness at other points around the container bottom.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a system 53 in accordance with another modified embodiment.
  • a prism 54 having reflective surfaces 56, 58 is positioned so that the fields of view of detectors 18, 24 through lenses 16, 22 are coincident at the adjacent surface of container 12.
  • Mirrored prism 54 is mounted on a pivot 60 that is coupled to a motor or other suitable actuator 62 for rotating mirrored prism 56 under control of information processor 26.
  • mirrored prism 56 is rotated about pivot 60, the mirrored prism functions simultaneously to scan both detectors over the surface of container 12 while maintaining coincident fields of view.
  • Container 12 is earned by a linear conveyor 64, such as is conventionally employed for conveying the containers while hot from the forming process from the container molding machine to the annealing lehr.
  • Linear motion of conveyor 64 is sensed at 32a, encoded at 34 and fed to information processor 26.
  • information processor 26 may control operation of mirrored prism motor 62 and scan the outputs of detectors 18, 24 at increments of container motion along conveyor 64 effectively to scan the entire opposing surface area of the container as it moves.
  • An identical system 53 may be provided on the opposite side of conveyor 64 for scanning the surface area of the container. In this way, the entire surface area of the container is scanned as it passes from the molding machine to the annealing lehr, and information processor 26 may compile and display a complete two-dimensional map of container thickness versus position both axially and circumferentially of the container. More than two systems 53 may be employed, such as four systems as in FIG. 3 .
  • the signal from sensor 18 is replaced with a signal relating to average wall thickness, and the wall thickness of the article is determined as described with the previous embodiments.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment 66 that is similar to that of FIG. 5 , except that mirrored prism 54 in FIG. 5 is replaced by a flat reflector or mirror 68 mounted on pivot 60 controlled by motor 62.
  • mirror 68 which may be flat, concave or of other suitable geometry, functions to reflect the fields of view of detectors 18, 24 onto the adjacent surface of container 12 in such a way that the fields of view coincide at the container surface.
  • Mirror 68 is pivoted under control of information processor 26 to obtain thickness data in accordance with the present invention, as previously described.
  • the signal in the 0.4 to 1.1 micron range cannot be used to calibrate the 4.8 to 5 micron signal.
  • the signal proportional to surface temperature (4.8 to 5.0 microns) can be calibrated using the technique of invention, as from the foregoing.
  • the total amount of glass in a container is nearly constant, while distribution may vary. Therefore, the average wall thickness for the whole container should be constant and known. This can be used to calibrate the average signal for sensor 24 (4.8 to 5.0 microns). This known average thickness makes the single point calibration from sensor 18 (0.4 to 1.1 microns) unnecessary.
  • a map of surface temperature versus position is obtained for the entire container, and this map is then employed in conjunction with known average wall thickness to determine actual wall thickness around the container.
